Free Guide10 steps to the PERFECT pool
Discover the EASY way to get the PERFECT pool you’ve always dreamed about having.
All concrete that is pneumatically applied is shotcrete. But there are 2 different types of shotcrete:
Wet mix (typically called shotcrete) is delivered by traditional rotating drum concrete trucks and shot in place by a $5000 portable pump.
Rebound is the material that ricochets off the application surface during the gunite operation. Rebound is typically made up of the larger and harder particles (which tend to ricochet) and does not contain adequate cement, water or density to develop significant strength. Rebound, therefore, should not be used in any application where strength, hardness or durability is needed (such as the pool bond beam).
Unfortunately, it is common practice by many pool builders to use this rebound in critical areas of the pool. Watch any other pool builder shooting a gunite shell and you will undoubtedly see them burying the rebound in the pool shell or bond beam. Monogram NEVER USES REBOUND WASTE IN OUR POOL WALLS, BOND BEAMS OR FLOORS.
The picture on the left shows the dry, loose rebound being used in the bond beam of a pool. The picture on the right shows what happens when the rebound falls out and a hole forms in the pool. You will never see this happen on a Monogram pool because of our strict, supervised gunite installation method.
